Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW 2-door saloon

This car has been SOLD... Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow MPW 2-door saloon, 1967, LHD. Finished in Tudor Red with a Tan leather interior and Brown carpets. 

Not long after the launch of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in October 1965, the factory came on the market with the coupe and convertible versions. The technical specifications of these models were similar to the 4-door versions and therefore carried the name of the 4 door model with the extension Mulliner Park Ward 2-door saloon. In 1971 the name for the 2- door versions changed into Corniche (named after the famous Route de Corniche, a coastal road, especially along the face of a cliff, most notably along the French Riviera above the principality of Monaco).

The 6.23 ltr Rolls-Royce V8 engine equipped with Twin SU carburettors and a 3-speed automatic transmission combined gave a gentleman driver sufficient power when needed. The four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs and a hydraulic self-levelling system on the rear wheels plus disc brakes on all 4 wheels gave these cars a very smooth and safe handling compared to a lot of other brands in that era.
